Guest Post by Dolcey from Who’s That in the Cat Pajamas?

Thanks to Sneaky for posting my guest post over on Wordpress. https://sneakylibrarycat.wordpress.com/2017/05/29/guest-post-by-dolcey-from-whos-that-in-the-cat-pajamas-by-sojourner-mcconnell/

Good morning, Sneaky! I appreciate you allowing me to visit with you today. I am Dolcey and Sojourner asked me to come introduce myself to you. As you might have noticed, today I am in my cat pajamas. You might say I am cloaked in a bit of a mystery.

You see, I have a job to do in this life, and it is to help children. I am not always a cat. I have many sets of pajamas that I use in my adventures. I have another life away from the children’s houses you will read about in my latest book.

Sojourner McConnell is bringing you the story of how my career began. It is a lovely story featuring Emily. We call it Who’s That in the Cat Pajamas?

You will meet Emily, and she has the most beautiful green eyes. They shine like emeralds. Anyway, Emily has a problem. I am not going to tell you about it now. Sojourner is the story teller. I will leave that up to her.

In Who’s That in the Cat Pajamas? you will find out exactly who I am and what I do when not dressed for work. You will also find out about my special job and why I do, what I do.

I know there are so many secrets, but you will find out a lot of them in the first book. I hope you will join me for the release which happens very soon. It is already on Amazon as a Preorder.

In fact, I hope you will follow along with the Dolcey Series. Book 1 comes to Amazon and books stores on June 2, 2017. I hope you will pick up a copy and share it with the children in your life.

Then stay tuned because, in about four months, I will be traveling to another land and helping another special child that you will not want to miss meeting.

Miss Ellie Barrett is already working on the illustrations for that special story with Sojourner now. It is going to be a blast. You can find Ellie on Instagram.

Thanks so much for the guest post, Dolcey, and best whiskers on your new book.

New Release Guest Post for Written in Stone by Debbie De Louise

Meow, there. My name is Sneaky, and I’m quite excited to be a guest on this blog today and talk about myself and my books. I’m a character in the Cobble Cove mystery series written by Debbie De Louise. I also have my own blog (https://sneakylibrarywordpress.com) where I interview other pet characters, mostly felines so far, although I have featured a dog. I actually have a dog co-star in my series, Fido. He’s a golden retriever and quite smart for a dog. In our first book, A Stone’s Throw, he helped find a missing person. In our second book, he got into some danger but also appeared in a children’s storytime at the Cobble Cove library as my guest. In our new release, Written in Stone, published April 5, he competes with me in finding a clue to a murder. I like healthy competition.

Back to me, since this is my guest post. I am a handsome Siamese if I say so myself. My model is Debbie’s cat, Oliver, although I’m quite younger. Alicia, my human co-star in the series, was introduced to me in A Stone’s Throw, but I’m a library cat and don’t belong to anyone. I like Alicia, though, and Laura, the new librarian who is hired in Between a Rock and a Hard Place, treats me in the manner in which I’ve become accustomed. She has a way with cats since she has a house full of them and also works at a shelter. I’m on the fence, literally, about Donald, another new librarian who joined in our second book. He pretends to hate me and wears the most clashing ties, but he secretly sneaks me treats.

I enjoyed my parts in all three books, but I was especially thankful to Debbie for including a likeness of me on the cover of our latest. I also have a big role in Written in Stone, but I don’t want to give it away. I certainly hope I’ve piqued the curiosity of some of you readers to purchase our books, so Debbie can keep writing them. For your convenience, you can shop for them directly from my blog (just look for the big “Shop” pawprint); Debbie’s author page on Facebook, or from the following links which are universal, so they’ll work no matter where you live. Thank you for your interest and also consider subscribing to Debbie’s newsletter and joining the Cobble Cove Character Chat where each character takes a turn hosting a different month (I was host in February). There are prizes awarded in the newsletter and through the Facebook group, and being part of both will keep you updated on everything that’s going on in Cobble Cove as well as Debbie’s other publications.
